* Responsible Engineer, architect, and lead modeler for the Hermes reactor's
Maximum Hypothetical Accident (MHA). The Hermes MHA is the first MHA developed
for specifically for a reactor with a "functional containment" safety case. 
The Hermes MHA is found in Chapter 13 of the Hermes Construction Permit
Application. 

* Responsible Engineer for the Hermes reactor's Steady State Effluent Release 
and associated off-site dose methodology development and analysis. 
The Hermes MHA is found in Chapter 13 of the Hermes Construction Permit
Application. 


* Responsible Engineer for the Kairos Power Fluoride Salt-Cooled High
Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR) Mechanistic Source Term methodology development
project which resulted in the first Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved 
topical report. The first revision of the submitted in June, 2020 and the 
Safety Evaluation was issued in April 2022.  

* Contributor to the development of the KP-FHR Risk-Informed Performance-Based Licensing Basis Development Methodology Topical Report focusing on LBE and SSC classification.

* Principal Investigator for the reconstitution of the Centralized Reliability Database Organization (CREDO) database to support Probabilistic Risk Assessments and Safety Analysis for Sodium Fast Reactors.

* Project Manager for joint Japanese Atomic Energy Agency and Sandia bilateral (through the Civil Nuclear Energy Working Group) research effort to benchmark effort for sodium fire codes using Sandia Lab Directed Research and Development funded sodium fire test data.

* Project Manager for the incorporation of sodium fire models into the MELCOR computer code.

* Principal Investigator for an Office of New Reactors evaluation of scoping source terms for High Temperature Gas Reactors, Liquid Fueled Molten Salt Reactors, and Sodium Fast Reactors and developing Risk-Informed Security Criteria.

* Contributing Investigator responsible for the Level 2 Spent Fuel Pool PRA development as part of the NRC Level 3 PRA project.

* Participant in the development of the Generation 4 International Forum Sodium Fast Reactor Safety Design Guidelines Task Force.

* Contributing Investigator responsible for the development of uncertainty distributions for Safety Relief Valve failure, Safety Vent Valve failure, Decay Heat, and Core Collapse parameters in the Surry and Sequoyah SOARCA Uncertainty Analysis.

* Investigator responsible for characterizing of uncertainties and sensitivity studies on the Fukushima 1F1 accident analysis using MELCOR.

* Principal Investigator for a multi-institute, multi-disciplinary examination of safety and licensing gaps for the Sodium Fast Reactor.

* Principal Investigator of a Lab Directed Research and Development project to create the mathematical formulation for Dynamic Fault Trees to inform decision makers of evolving state of support system success probability mid-accident.

* Principal investigator for a two proof-of-concept Level 2 Risk Assessments to inform the development of Severe Accident Management Guidelines for both integral Pressurized Water Reactors and Sodium Fast Reactors, using a combination of:
    * Severe accident simulation (via MELCOR and SAS4a codes),
    * Discrete Dynamic Event Trees via the ADAPT code, and
    * Decision analysis using Bayesian Networks.
